Back in Maimi, Alex had called Paulina, asking her to make sure she found Henrietta at all costs. He was going to stall for time as soon as possible to make sure they had the document. "I am trying, Alex. You know Maimi is a big country, and finding Henrietta is like finding a golden fish in the middle of an ocean." "I know what I am asking of you, honey, but the fate of the innocent kids rests on this. They are going to die if Xavier doesn't get what he wants." Alex replied "I will try my best to locate her, although I have news about her already. I think she is trying to sell the documents to some rich man in the city here. I just need to track who it is and make a deal with him." Henrietta replied, looking at Naomi, who wanted to speak with her father. "How is she?" Alex asked over the phone. "She is here, and she wants to say hi." Paulina smiled "Dad, when are you coming over?" Naomi's voice made Alex laugh."Soon, baby. We are getting over the hostage case soon, and I am com
"Who has it?" Paulina asked, looking at her face. "Simon does." Henrietta replied. "Where are you meeting with him, or is this just another plan of yours?" Paulina looked at her face. The tension was high as they took their seats. Paulina immediately took out her phone and called Alex. "I think you might need to stall for some time, or better yet, come down to Maimi. It looks like Henrietta doesn't have the documents." Alex rubbed his hands over his hair gently as he listened to everything Paulina was saying. "I can't come down to Maimi at the moment. I need to sort out what is going on here." Alex replied "What about Henrietta?" Alex added "She is right here with me." Paulina replied, passing the phone to her. Henrietta shook as Alex spoke to her, and Paulina looked at her and wondered what Alex said to her. The line was cut off: "I can help you find him." Henrietta looked at Paulina. "You mean Simon?" "Yes, I know where he might be hiding." Henrietta said this again, looking a
"Paulina has the document." Alex said it with a happy face. "That is good, but don't tell me you are going to give the documents to Xavier." Andrew's face turned pale. The two men stopped talking and looked at themselves. "I haven't thought much about it. I think the fake document you gave me might come in handy, but then what would you do if Xavier knew it was a fake? Then I would be risking the children's lives for a piece of paper." Alex replied "Listen to me, Alex Davis, that document isn't just any document, and it is definitely not a piece of paper. It is a lineage of business passed to your grandfather and was supposed to pass to your father and then finally to you. The document is the secret of mining and how to make your business excel. I think you need to decide what you're finally going to do with it when it gets back into your hand." Andrew advised as he stepped outside his study room. Alex sighed, knowing what Andrew said was true. He needed a plan that could work witho
Victor was just packing his things when he heard a gentle knock at the door. "Hello, who is it?" He said he was gently walking towards the door with his pistol. The door was kicked down by Joe's kick, and he was standing face-to-face with Victor. "Who are you, and what audacity do you have to kick down my door?" Victor shouted at him. " Me?" Joe asked, looking back to see if Victor was really talking down on him. "Are you Victor?" Joe asked, dipping his hand into his jacket. Victor quickly pointed the gun at him and said, "II will gun you down if you try reaching for your pocket." "You have got some balls." Joe replied, bringing out the picture to confirm if he was really standing before Victor. "You do know that everyone who betrayed Xavier Richmond doesn't leave to tell the story, so why do you?" Joe asked, and before he could finish his statement, Victor shot at him. Joe was fast; he managed to dodge the bullet and looked at Victor. "Well, you ain't as dumb as I think. Here is wh
"No, we didn't. Xavier managed to escape with Alex taken as his prisoner." Agent Miller reported the case to Steve. "I need all the FBI agents out there looking for him. Make sure he is caught." Steve ordered Agent Miller and Alice immediately gathered more men to look for Xavier. The bodies were left over for the forensics team to work on. The police were on their sirens as they all drove into the street looking for Xavier and Alex. The news was aired on television and all social media platforms about Xavier's escape. The city was on high alert, with every available law enforcement officer on the lookout for the fugitives. The streets were flooded with blue and red lights, and the air was thick with tension.***************************************************************Victor stumbled through the alleyways, his breath coming in short, painful gasps. His side ached from the fall, and he knew he needed to find a place to hide, and fast. The shards of glass had left deep cuts on his
Xavier picked up his phone and looked at Claire. "Make sure he doesn't go anywhere." He said it with a stern look on his face. Claire looked at him with disdain and wondered why she would be receiving orders from a man who killed her father. "What are you doing here, Claire?" Alex looked up to meet her gaze. "I am going to kill him." She replied sharply, looking at Alex, who was tired."Listen to me, Claire; whatever you think of doing has to stop. Get the police and let them know where I am." Alex looked at her, but she was bent on having things done her own way. "Don't tell me what to do, Alex. We are not a couple any more, remember?" Claire snapped The pain of losing her mother and father at the same time was unbearable. Perhaps the Wills deserved everything that was coming their way. Xavier walked back into the house. "We are having companies soon," he said with a smirk."Remind me, how did you know I was here once again?" Xavier asked and looked at Claire. "I was at the orph
Richard tied a cloth around the gunshot wound on his leg. "Get back out there and find me, Xavier. He is going to pay for what he has done." Spy looked at his face. "Are you going to be alright?" He asked with a worried look on his face. "Just find me, Xavier. That is all I want." Richard ordered Spy and his men walked out of the room, leaving Richard alone to treat himself. Richard walked gently towards the first aid box as blood dropped on the floor following him. He grabbed the kit, swearing under his breath. He immediately cut open his shirt and tried removing the bullet. After a few minutes, he was done. Richard knew the FBI would be looking for him because he had left a trail behind for them to follow. He closed his eyes and decided to take a nap. ***************************************************************Agent Miller and Agent Alice got to Xavier's hiding spot, but he wasn't there anymore. Xavier had left with Alex and Claire to find the treasure. "Do you think they w
Tension filled the courtroom as anticipation hung heavily in the air. Xavier was seated at the defendant's table, with his hands in shackles and his eyes showing a cold and resolute expression. The press gathered outside, eagerly seeking every bit of information on the widely- publicised case that had caught the nation's eye. Xavier was no ordinary criminal; he was the brain behind a string of atrocious acts that had caused widespread destruction. The trial was expected to be lengthy and difficult, as numerous victims and their families sought to obtain justice. Claire was seated at the front, with a mix of determination and sadness written on her face. She was haunted by the loss of her parents and the trauma of the events, but she was resolute in ensuring that Xavier faced consequences. Alex remained next to her, offering quiet comfort. Both individuals were important witnesses in the case against Xavier, and their testimonies were vital for the prosecution's case. James Harrison
